“Such a good boy~~”

Li Jinwen stepped out of the room, pushed open another nearby room, and said to the several elderly people inside, “Dad, Mom, does anyone have time right now? Jingcheng said he bought some things and asked us to pick them up at the front desk.”
Everyone had already gotten up and was listening to Zhang Li in this room, teaching them how to respond to various situations they might encounter while undercover in disguise.
Perhaps it was so as not to become a burden to Lin Mo.
Or maybe it was the pressure of being possibly discovered at any moment.
Everyone’s motivation to learn was very strong.
More importantly, after these past few days of getting used to it, everyone had started to get accustomed to each other’s new names. Even when Zhang Li deliberately called out their real names, they’d momentarily fail to respond.
“Okay!”
“Here!”
“Is it a lot of stuff?”
“Dear in-laws, don’t bother, just let Xing Jiang come with us.”
Xing Jiang was Zhang Li’s new name.
Since they didn’t know how much stuff there was, everyone was being courteous to each other, and in the end, except for the three women who hadn’t come out, the rest followed Li Jinwen downstairs.
The hotel they were staying at was the biggest, the best, and the most expensive on Qianye Island. The lobby was very grand and spacious, with several staff members at the reception desk.
Li Jinwen approached and asked, “Hello, is there a delivery for Room 702?”
“Please wait, I’ll check for you.” After checking, the staff member said, “There is a delivery for Mr. Li, it’s on that shelf over there. You can just sign here and take it.”
“Thank you.”
Li Jinwen signed with his new name in the book and then led everyone to the hotel’s designated area for deliveries.
There weren’t many deliveries on the floor, and Li Jinwen quickly found the package with Li Jingcheng’s name on it.
The package wasn’t small—several large bags!
But when Li Jinwen opened the package and saw the things Lin Mo had bought, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Good lord,
It was raincoats, rain pants, rain boots, and…what was all this for?
Li Jinshan picked up an umbrella, examined it, and asked in wonder, “Is it going to rain today?”
“Rain? That can’t be right,” Lin Changshui shook his head, took out his phone to check, and said, “I specifically checked the weather this morning. Both today and tomorrow are supposed to be sunny.”
As he spoke, he took out his phone, found the weather forecast, and it indeed predicted clear skies.
Li Jinwen, Li Jinshan, and Zhang Li also took out their phones and opened the weather forecast.
Indeed, all sunny.
So if it was going to be sunny…why did Lin Mo buy so many rain items?
And looking at the quantity, it seemed to be exactly one set per person?
What was this all about?
Zhang Li, holding what appeared to be the heaviest package, said, “Maybe brother has some plan. Let’s take the items upstairs first, then ask brother and find out what’s going on!”
Everyone nodded, each took a parcel, stepped into the elevator, and went back upstairs.
At this time, Lin Mo had just finished washing up and was about to get dressed when he heard the noise outside and opened the door to ask, “Did you bring everything? Is anything missing?”
Lin Changshui, with a puzzled face, nodded and quickly counter-asked, “Yeah, we got everything, but what’s the use of buying so much rain gear if it’s not going to rain in the next couple of days?”
The others also looked at him with curiosity.
Lin Mo said with a smile, “Who says it’s not going to rain in the next couple of days? It’s going to rain very soon. Go and get changed. Believe me, it will definitely rain. I observed the stars last night and the weather forecast got it wrong again. Trust me, I’m not mistaken!”
It’s definitely going to rain soon?
Observing the stars?
Why say “again”?
What nonsense is this child talking about?
Li Jinwen suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, “Could it be… your friend’s rheumatism is acting up again?”
“You got it right, truly worthy to be my wife.”
Lin Mo nodded with a smile.
Huh?
Everyone looked at Lin Mo, then at Li Jinwen, with no one understanding what was going on.
“Dad, it’s inconvenient to talk here. Let’s go to my mom’s room first. I’ll explain everything to you in a bit, honey, get dressed first.” Li Jinwen took Lin Xiaoxiao into the adjacent room.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are these kids being so secretive now?”
“The weather is so good, isn’t it laughable to go out dressed like this?”
“Let’s just do what the kids say.”
“Grandpa, Grandpa, I’ll tell you a secret—Mumu knows what’s going on too!”
“Ah? You know too?”
…..
Ten minutes later.
A family of nine, dressed in full rain gear, carrying umbrellas and buckets, walked out of the hotel together.
Outside was a sunny day, the sky incredibly clear and blue, with no signs of impending rain.
